Under 18) How do I complain? "there is a customer portal here" - should there be a link here? Nothing obvious or clickable for me.
Minor spelling/typo under 8) How can I get a hotel?, the first "your" should be "you're"

then its prudent => then it's prudent
there havebeen recent reports => there have been recent reports

Possibly just my browser but the 'live' thread doesn't appear correctly for me on the 'trending threads' page - entry 3 on this screenshot. It seems to have no title - which makes it impossible to link into from there (which is my landing page).

Very interesting, and I get the same too. What was slightly unusual about the Live thread was that it was a merger of two threads, and there had to be some shuffling around to make sure my post was the first in the newly created thread. So I have a feeling that got messed up in the Trending database. I'll refer it to the technical team.
